Toblerone Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 I had an account on ripple.com while it was being developed, probably about 8 years ago, and was given some XRP by a staff member in their IRC channel. I remember the name of the account i had and couple most likely guess the password I used, but there is no longer a place to log in on www.ripple.com. Is there any way I can recover this account and get access to this XRP or is it lost at this point? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Did you write down the secret key for the account, it's a long string of characters that starts with 's'. If you have that you'll be able to import your wallet into current wallet software like XUMM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toblerone Posted April 8, 2021 Author Share Posted April 8, 2021 I'm almost 100% sure I did not write down any key for the account. I have the hard drive from the computer I used to access it but the only thing I could imagine recovering from there is a saved username and/or password, not a key for the actual wallet.

Someone may be able to tell you where to get the software for the old RippleTrade wallet. I don't know if that could help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JASCoder Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 This is a long shot, but maybe RL turned over all the old user accounts to some company, like GateHub perhaps ? GH was my first exchange, and they gave me my own "ripple wallet" (their terminology for an XRPL account, pre-activated at no cost) Then the secret key was acquirable from my GH account, but GH would facilitate trades and withdraws thru their interface, where I only needed my user/pass to access my GH account. You should prolly do some googling to trace down announcements about how RL handled the transition away from providing the old service.
